The bull went above and beyond.
Hollywood Golden Age icon Marlene Dietrich once said: ‘Courage and grace is a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is the bullring’.
But last week, a raging taurus brought mayhem to the bullring in a small Colombian town.
Spectators were sent running in a panic after the beast leapt over the barriers into the stands, seriously injuring four people and giving the others more than they bargained for.

Daily Mail reported:
“Crowds of people ran for their lives in the Castilla district of Coyaima, when the bull launched itself up into the stands and charged at festivalgoers.
The rampage took place at a ‘Corraleja’ event, a traditional bull festival where the animal is released into the ring and members of the public can dangerously tease it.”
So, as we learn, this is not a classic Spanish corrida de toros, in which a matador taunts the bull with a cape, places barbed sticks on his back, and finally delivers the final sword kill.
In this Colombian festival variation, a very chaotic scene unfolds with members of the public jumping on the arena to provoke the raging bull.
“Video footage showed the bull seconds after it was released chasing people in the ring before it jumped over a tall red fence and into a large crowd. Cheers of excitement quickly turned into screams of panic as people fled the stands, with some even jumping into the ring to escape.
One woman was hit and trampled by the bull as she tried to run away around the stand. A fearless man then grabbed the bull by the tail, allowing others to quickly escape.”
Here you can see the scene from another angle.
